About Corkscrew Falls in the Hocking Hills

While Corkscrew Falls is not among the most visited attractions, people who have seen the falls have admitted it is one of the most beautiful areas in the entire park! Just a few years ago, the 10-foot waterfall rested on private property and was unavailable to the public. Today, visitors with a permit are able to view the falls and all of its natural splendor. Corkscrew Falls is a part of the 607-acre Boch Hollow Nature Preserve, so you know you’ll see plenty of beautiful sights and wildlife along the way.

Corkscrew Falls, Ohio Permit

Due to the area’s fragile ecosystem, The Ohio Department of Natural Resources requires a permit for all Corkscrew Falls visitors. Luckily, these permits are very easy to acquire. Simply visit the Ohio Department of Natural Resource’s website for permit guidelines and applications. Please note that these permits can take up to 30 days to process, so plan accordingly and apply in advance!

How to Find Corkscrew Falls in the Hocking Hills

You’ll find the trailhead for Corkscrew Falls at the corner of Zwinkle Road and OH-664. If you’re in need of parking, you’ll find a small paved shoulder nearby. The beginning of the half mile trail is marked by a sign that reads “This is Ohio Dept of Natural Preserves property. You must have a permit to be on this land.” From here, follow the trail down the creek. A large rock wall will keep you on the trail, so you won’t have to worry about getting lost. Once you reach the falls, you may enter the knee-deep water to capture the perfect photo.

About Old Man’s Cave

Old Man’s Cave derives its name from Richard Rowe, a hermit who lived under the rock shelter in the early 1800s. His family moved to Ohio from the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee. Shortly after, Richard stumbled upon the Hocking Region while traveling along the Scioto River.

He lived out his life in the area and is buried beneath the ledge of the main recess cave.

Other residents of the cave were two brothers, Nathaniel and Pat Rayon, who came to the area in 1795. Both brothers are buried near the cave. Old Man’s Cave also served as a stopover for the Shawnee Indians on their route from West Virginia to villages along the Scioto River.

2 of the Best Things to Do at Old Man’s Cave

Hiking

The Old Man’s Cave area can be divided into five sections: Upper Falls, Upper Gorge, Middle Falls, Lower Falls, and Lower Gorge. The magnificent gorge cuts through Blackhand sandstone and serves an opportunity for visitors to peer into the earth’s subsurface. The main hiking trail starts at the Welcome Center and takes a relatively straight route through the gorge to Old Man’s Cave. The trail then continues to the Sphinx Head and Overlook rock formations. Whispering Cave, one of the Hocking Hills’ newest attractions, is also accessible from the hiking trails. With plenty of man-made steps and bridges along the way, this route is a relatively easy stroll for visitors of all skill levels.

5 Hocking Hills Waterfalls That You Must See

Cedar Falls

Cedar Falls is the largest in terms of water volume. Spanning over 50 feet, Cedar Falls looks much bigger in person than in pictures. From the top, water slides down a massive chunk of sandstone, splits in the middle and then meets up again before plunging into a pool. This creates a rather unique looking cascade. After enjoying this wonder, make your way to the large rocky beach area at the base of the falls for some well-deserved relaxation.

Big Spring Hollow Falls

At over 100 feet, Big Spring Hollow Falls is one of the highest, if not the highest, waterfall in the Hocking Hills area. It provides a wispy curtain of spray and is at least 10 feet wide. Reaching this waterfall is a workout, so come prepared to trek a good distance. Visitation of Big Spring Hollow Falls is available only to those with a permit only. Contact the state park in advance to apply for yours!

Rockbridge Falls

As the name suggests, this waterfall flows under a natural bridge, giving it a unique look. Rockbridge Falls only has water flowing occasionally. However, the combination of natural features makes it worth a visit. The falls and bridge are found in the Rockbridge State Nature Preserve, which is located at the end of Dalton Road. If you are arriving by canoe, you can easily pull your canoe to the shore and hike to the falls from the river. Be sure to make time for this beautiful waterfall!

Cantwell Cliffs

Cantwell Cliffs in Hocking Hills is one of the most remote trails in the park. However, many visitors have stated that it is well worth the journey. Along the way, you will have the chance to see many Hocking Hills waterfalls and a number of other wonderful natural attractions.

Ash Cave

Ash Cave, located in the Hocking Hills State Park, is named for large amounts of ashes that early settlers discovered in the cave. The settlers believed that Native Americans used Ash Cave for their shelter and the ashes were from the campfires. In addition to the enormous 700 -foot long cave, the Hocking Hills State Park attraction also boasts a stunning waterfall at its center.
